Virtus.pro has signed new four-year agreements with its entire Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team, the organization announced today on its Facebook page. The team did not disclose any financial information about the deals.

"For the next four years, the best team in the world will continue playing for our organization, and I am sure we're going to have a lot of victories and pleasant moments as well as a lot of work to do," Virtus.pro general manager Roman Dvoryankin said in the press release. "I would like to thank the guys for their professional approach to the negotiations. I admit they were quite difficult, but in the end we managed to reach a win-win solution."

The team, which consists of Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas, Filip "NEO" Kubski, Jarosław "pasha" Jarząbkowski, Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski, and Paweł "byali" Bieliński, has competed with Virtus.pro since 2014, when the roster, then known as AGAiN, signed on with the organization. The team shortly after took its first major victory at ESL Major Series One: Katowice 2014.

Since then, it has become one of the best known and most successful Counter-Strike teams in the history of Global Offensive. While it slumped earlier this year, the team took third-fourth at ESL One Cologne and first at ELeague Season 1 and DreamHack Bucharest in the summer.
